Science Experiments Using Solar Panels

The following easy science experiments for kids will help them look at the sun in a whole new light.

Science experiments using solar panels.

Take both groups indoors at 3 26 p m when the sun s rays are still strongly contacting with the solar panels and the bi convex lenses. Cover one of the glasses on white paper with plastic. Have a discussion and make predictions about what you think will happen to the water in each glass. For each solar panel make contact between red and black test lead with the end wires of the 220 ohm resistor.

Or analyze how solar cells or panels work. Experiment with solar power by building your own solar powered robot or oven or by testing ways to speed up an existing solar car. Fill each cup with the same amount of liquid of the same cool temperature. Record amount of resistance in ohms for both groups.

Or analyze how solar cells or panels work. One way to store the solar energy for later use is to use a solar cell to charge something called a capacitor. These long summer days call for kiddie pools and ice cream but they also call out for kids science. Scroll down to get going.

Measure the water temperature and set one cup on each paper. The capacitor stores the energy as an electric field which can be tapped into at any time in or out of light.
